The Pleasure in Pain: A Queer Horrortica Anthology by Roxie Voorhees

"Maybe the real grail is all the gloryholes we decorate with ironic daisy chains along the way."
This is a different sort of read for me, though not because it's queer or horror related. Seeing this on netgalley immediately caught my attention, and I've been digesting this in small bites over the past week since. Every story is unique, the wordings rich, sumptuous and sinful as you get to see how each writer approaches body horror and erotic gore in different ways. An absolute delight to read and something I will happily recommend to people wanting to dip their toes into more experimental formats of queer lit.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for allowing me an ARC copy for an honest review!
